Abstract
A network-based service provider architecture. The architecture of the service provider may include a cell based stacked architecture. The network-based service provider architecture may include a plurality of cells hosting a multi-tiered application environment and a common logical network layer. The common logical network layer may provide network connectivity and enforce individual access policy of each cell of the plurality of cells, where each cell is connected to the common logical network layer.
Claims15
A network-based service provider architecture, comprising:
- a plurality of cells hosting a multi-tiered application environment;
- and
- a common logical network layer providing network connectivity and enforcing individual access policy of each cell of the plurality of cells, wherein each cell is connected to the common logical network layer.
A method for providing a network-based service, comprising:
- receiving data in a common logical network layer from at least one of a cell of a plurality of cells of a multi-tiered application and a network;
- enforcing access policy of a destination cell of the plurality of cells to which the data is directed, if the data is directed to a cell of the plurality of cells;
- enforcing access policy of a source cell of the plurality of cells, if the data is received from a cell of the plurality of cells;
- transmitting the data to at least one of the destination cell and the network.
